Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip KP303, Surge Protector with 3 Individually Controlled Smart Outlets and 2 USB Ports, Works with Alexa & Google Home, No Hub Required , White

Excelente producto. Buena calidad. Compatible con Alexa.

As is common today, the device comes with sparse (3-steps) instructions. On 3 different devices (iPad, Pixel 6 phone, and MacBook Pro) I couldnt get the Kasa app to let me establish an account. So, after knocking my head against the wall for over an hour, I went to sleep and called TP-Link tech support the next morning. The agent was excellent. Two important missing pieces she told me are: (1) all consumer-facing TP-Link accounts associated with a particular email address use the identical username & password, and (2) despite them telling you passwords should have a mix of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters, TP-Links security doesnt always play nice with special characters. Once I got rid of them and adjusted the multiple TP-Link accounts in my password keeper, I was finally able to set up the Kasa app. The next problem was adding the device to the app. The instructions say to make sure the KP303 and device on which Kasa software is installed are running on the same network. I thought this meant the network configured in my router. (I thought they were using something like a temporary Bluetooth network to have the KP303 learn what network to use.) But nothing worked. The app has a useful trouble-shooting window if this fails, but nothing on it helped. After two failures and a waste of about 1/2 hour, I noticed that a TP-named network appeared on my list of available networks (in Settings) when I plugged in the KP303. Wouldnt it be nice if they mentioned this when they told you to make sure the two devices were on the same network? Once I connected to this network on my iPad, everything went rather smoothly. The last start-up issue I had was naming the outlets on the KP303. The Kasa software very intelligently uses a 2-part naming system for each device; e.g. Master Bedroom + Right-side night light. Again, coming from a competitors product, I learned this the hard way. First I named each outlet with a name like, Master Bedroom - Right-side night light, then discovered about the 2-level, location+name nomenclature, had to learn how to rename already named devices, and went back to simplify the second-level names. All this griping concerns start-up issues, for what seems like a very powerful, well-thought-out system. But I once spent the first six months of a programming job developing documentation standards, going through my predecessors work, figuring out what he had done, and documenting all his undocumented programming. So, I have no tolerance for poor documentation. Hence, 4-stars. P.S. I hope my detailed explanations above (i.e., the missing documentation) will help others trying to get Kasa and the KP303 going.

I have grown to love Kasa products. I own a multitude of plugs and power strips and they work flawlessly. I highly recommend.

Works for my needs. Phone,light,fan. Works with my alexa. You download the Kasa app easy set up. I would buy again.

I love Kasa products because of their ease in set up and integration. I don’t know if I have received a faulty unit but all the plugs turn on by themselves when you turn on only one. Also the usb ports are not Wi-Fi controlled. I will still buy there products just not fond of this one.

I bought this to plug in some arcade cabinets. I can individually name each plug, so that I can turn on just that one machine that i want to play with my voice. I also created a group called arcade, so just asking Alexa to turn on the arcade turns all 3 of them on at the same time. Seems to be working as intended so far. My only grip with this product is the USB ports are always powered. I wish they could be turned on and off with a voice command as well. Would make it easier for some of the lights I have in the arcade to come on along with everything else instead of manually having to be turned on. Ill probably wind up getting another one to plug in the lights, but for right now its not that big a deal. For the price and ease of setup and use I highly recommend this power strip.

Have a few. Easy to set up and program. Like that I can also just walk by and manually change easily. Highly recommend.

Reliable

I bought this 3 times for myself which means 5 stars already. So I am giving 5 stars for right numer(3) of outlets and light marker and on/off button for each outlet, bright white color and flow of design and easy-to-use application. However, it will be way better if you make it less bulky. Also if you have c-port and usb port, instead of 2 usb ports. Recent version of smartphones use c-port. I use c-port to charge faster.

Easy to use and set up.
